Set To Bloom

Crippled
A blanket spread across this lonely land
Comfort for this desolate snow drift
But when peace is disrupted
The blanket shifted
And with the soothing kiss of time
The scar shall be brushed into the past
Then the fog would lazily settle
This detested sloth of nature
A spineless giant
A slave of gravity
With overgrown Wings of cob-web feathers
But when nearby leaves would rustle
A signal for the winds to roar by 
To assault away this web of time
To force those wings to flutter
Raise this fog away from the beckoning earth
To soar into the skies
And nestle amongst the clouds
Thus the winds would fade
And looking down
This universal giver
Satisfied beyond metric measure
Gleaming with flaming pride
Beaming before the specters
Sending a showering presence of warmth
To complete the scene with its touch
The flowers set to bloom
Accomplished.

From winter into spring. Hey, this actually fits the criteria for the winter adornment contest, in a way. She said the poem could be about the destruction of winter, and isn't spring its destruction?? thanks for reading Burrowing. I am in a cold snowy state and burrowing is about all we CAN do when it's unsafe to drive! And it's also so much fun!! andrea
